dropped his paper and looked at her admir-

"Ah," said he, that's fine woman. And a

1t seems that the two Southern companies
that fell out of the parade at Washington
the other day did not do so because negro
companies were placed ahead of them. The
New York Star says that the troops moved
out Of camp all right and passed in review
before the Presidents stand in tho order to
which they were assigned The two COM
panics knew before the march began that
the negro companies were in front, and
made no objection to the arrangement. II
they dropped out afterward it was on ac-
count of the extreme heat and because they
knew there was no occasion to prolong the
march after passing the President. Thus do
the Republican organs lose another tissue"

Congressman Barry, of Mississippi, is the
last statesman to have fling at the inter
state commerce law. He is of the opinion
that the railroad corporations are deter
mined to make the law odious if they can
He thinks, also, that public sentiment is I'M
dergoing marked change with regard to
the law and the commission. He says: "At
first the railroads succeeded in creating the
impression that the law would work serious
injury to commerce, and they even raised a
feeling of prejudice against the commission.
But the people are beginning to see through
the selfish designs of the railroads As a
general thing the people are slow to see the
real drift of question like this, but they
never fail to discern the truth in the end,
and when they do they are immovable. The
railroad corporations have made an issue
with the people, and, now that the issue is
understood, public sentiment will sustain
the Interstate Commission in rigid enforce
ment of the law"

But certain superserviceable protection organs
at the North are not ashamed to cite the num-
Der of protective newspapers in the South as an
Southern people. They even go SO far as to
say that there are few of the leading journals
in the Southern cities which favor a tariff for
revenue. The leading journals are the journals
that lead, not the whipper snapper concerns
that go about with high tariff bit in their
mouths. The Galveston Neics, New Orleans

Correcting a Great Abuse.

A company of cavalry has been ordered
to Cheyenne to assist the representatives of
the Land Office in that section of the West in
cutting the fences which unlawfully enclose
public lands. This order Illustrates the diff
ference between the Republican and Demo-
cratic methods of treating rich and infu-
entail violaters of the law. For years
wealthy cattle men have fenced public
lands for pasture grounds, and have pre-
vented settlers from occupying them. They
have been powerful enough to- prevent set
tiers from taking up these lands even where
they have purchased them and obtained
titles from the government.
When Mr.. Teller was Secretary of the
Interior his attention was particularly
directed to this abuse, and when the At
torney General proposed that troops should
be used to cut the fences and clear the lands
from such distractions, he replied that
the courts were sufficient to deal with
such matters. That was his way of protect
ing the cattle men. The courts did not
interfere with them, and when the present
administration came into power the fencing
of the public domain by cattlemen was still
practiced. The President issued a proclama-
ton ordering all the fences to be removed,
but the cattlemen paid no attention to it.
The President now proposes to see whether
the cattlemen can defy the government
with impunity. If one company of cavalry
is not sufficient to clear the lands of fences
other companies will be ordered to assist in
the work. The cattlemen will find that the
administration has as much regard for the
poor settler, who has only a few dollars
worth of property and his strong hands with
which to make a living, as it has for cattle
king whose wealth amounts to millions of
dollars
